From camera roll to web-ready
HEIC is great on your phone, WebP is great on the web — but almost nothing speaks both. ImagePilot bridges the two in one step: drop your iPhone photos and get WebP files that load fast on any modern website, typically 25–35% smaller than the equivalent JPG.
The conversion uses a WebP encoder compiled to WebAssembly, so it behaves the same in every browser — including Safari, which has no built-in WebP encoding. And like every ImagePilot tool, everything runs client-side: your photos are never uploaded.
Privacy comes built in: because the WebP is rebuilt from raw pixels, hidden metadata from the original — GPS location, capture time, device details — is stripped automatically. Photos published from here don't reveal where they were taken.
Frequently asked questions
Why convert HEIC to WebP?
WebP is the go-to format for websites: it compresses about 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality and is supported by every modern browser. If your iPhone photos are headed for a website or blog, HEIC to WebP gets you the smallest files without a visible quality hit.
Does this work in Safari?
Yes. ImagePilot ships its own WebP encoder compiled to WebAssembly, so conversion works identically in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge — it does not depend on the browser's built-in encoding support.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Both the HEIC decoder and the WebP encoder run inside your browser. Your photos never leave your device — nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored anywhere.
Is the GPS location in my photos removed?
Yes. Conversion rebuilds the image from raw pixels, so all embedded metadata — including GPS coordinates, capture date, and device details — is stripped from the WebP. The converted image is safe to publish without revealing where it was taken.
What quality setting should I use?
The default 90% is visually indistinguishable from the original for most photos. For website images where size matters, 75–85% still looks great and cuts the file size significantly.
Can I convert many HEIC files at once?
Yes. Drop a whole batch and the files are converted one after another, each with its own progress. When they're done you can download them individually or grab everything as a single ZIP file.
